"Yes, we have to give it a try. Maybe someone will actually come to rescue us after seeing the thick smoke." Ma Xiaoyao's words not only comforted himself, but also comforted Gu Li.
Gu Li nodded: "Then let's try it."
"Now we will split up to pick up branches. Not only branches, but anything that can burn can be picked up." Ma Xiaoyao warned.
Jin Ming and Gu Li nodded to express their understanding.
Since Jin Ming's ankle was injured and he had difficulty moving, he could only pick up branches near the cave, while Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li went to a farther place to pick up branches...
After a busy day, the three of them picked up a lot of branches, all of which were wet. It rained heavily last night, so the branches were wet. Fortunately, it is summer and the weather is hot. It will take less than two days for the branches to be wet.
Dry.
Ma Xiaoyao deliberately stuffed some wet branches into the tree hole. His purpose of doing this was to keep the branches moist. When lighting the fire, adding some wet branches would make more and thicker smoke.
In the next few days, the three of them picked up a lot of branches and leaves, and Ma Xiaoyao also got a lot of wolf dung. After the wolf dung is dried, it can be ignited, and the smoke will be thicker.
Five days later.
The branches and wolf dung have been dried in the sun. When the branches are lightly stepped on, they will immediately make a "crackling..." sound. When the wolf dung is touched lightly, they will turn into powder. In short, dry things cannot be dried anymore.
Everything is ready and the plan can be implemented at any time.
This morning, Ma Xiaoyao piled a lot of branches together, including dry branches, wet branches, and some dry wolf dung. Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath, took a lighter and started to light the branches and
Wolf dung.
After more than ten minutes, the branches and wolf dung started to burn, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
"Okay, the fire is lit and the smoke is rising... all that's left is waiting." Ma Xiaoyao shook his hands and put the lighter into his pocket.
Jin Ming and Gu Li looked at the thick smoke rising into the sky, their faces full of anticipation.
…
Two days passed in a flash.
Most of the branches picked up by Ma Xiaoyao and others were burned, but no one came to rescue them, which made the three of them feel very heavy.
Another day passed, and still no one came to rescue them...
Ma Xiaoyao threw the last branch into the fire and breathed out: "The branches, leaves, wolf dung... everything that can burn on the island has been burned... But now no one has come to rescue it.
us……"
Jin Ming remained calm and silent.
Gu Li looked very guilty: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you are trapped on the island... I'm sorry for you..."
"Sister Gu, please don't say that." Ma Xiaoyao held Gu Li's hand and said softly: "You can't be blamed for this at all. If we are to blame, we can only blame our bad luck..."
"Listen!" Jin Ming suddenly stood up.
Ma Xiaoyao looked at Jin Ming doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?"
"Brother, have you heard...a roaring sound..." Jin Ming pointed to the eastern sky: "The sound is coming from over there..."
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly listened attentively, and finally heard some roaring sounds: "There is really a sound...and how come the sound is so like...the sound from a helicopter...uh...it's really straight
Let's take off!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened and he pointed to the eastern sky: "There really is a helicopter..."
Gu Li also looked up, and sure enough she saw a green helicopter flying from the east...
Jin Ming took off his shirt directly, then waved it around desperately, shouting: "Hey...here...there is someone here..."
Ma Xiaoyao also kept waving and shouting at the helicopter.
I don’t know if Jin Ming and Ma Xiaoyao’s shouting had an effect, but the helicopter was really heading towards them...
"The helicopter saw us...it flew over...we are saved!" Jin Ming was overjoyed.
Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li were also excited.
The helicopter landed slowly on the island, the hatch was opened, and a man in police uniform jumped out. The man glanced at Ma Xiaoyao and others: "There are indeed people on this island."
Ma Xiaoyao and others hurried over and thanked the man profusely.
"How did you end up stranded on this island?" the man asked doubtfully.
"Oh... don't mention it... it's a long story..." Ma Xiaoyao briefly told the story of how several people were trapped on the island.
The man admired: "You guys are really lucky."
"By the way, how did you discover us?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
The man pointed at the fire diagonally opposite: "Of course it was this fire that reminded me. I forgot to introduce you to you. My name is Zhang Hang. I am from the Coast Guard Patrol Group. I am usually responsible for piloting a helicopter to patrol the sea area.
, when I patrolled this area of the sea, I suddenly saw a plume of smoke coming from a small island. At that time, I guessed that someone might be trapped on the small island, so I came to check it out. Unexpectedly, I was really surprised.
You guessed it right."
"You came just in time. If you had come a little later, the fire would have been extinguished... By then, you wouldn't be able to spot us at all." Ma Xiaoyao said happily.
Zhang Hang chuckled: "How about I tell you that you are lucky...Okay, get on the plane, I will take you out of here now."
Ma Xiaoyao, Jin Ming and Gu Li hurriedly got on the helicopter.
Zhang Hang got into the cockpit and after telling Ma Xiaoyao and others to fasten their seat belts, he slowly drove the helicopter away from the island.
"By the way, Officer Zhang..." Ma Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something: "I also have a yacht flipping in the sea. Look..." The helicopter made a loud sound, and Ma Xiaoyao almost shouted at the top of his lungs.
After shouting, Zhang Hang heard clearly.
Zhang Hang nodded: "Don't worry, I'll contact the patrol team immediately and ask them to send someone to get your yacht back."
"Oh, thank you so much, thank you so much." When he heard that Zhang Hang's contact helped him get the yacht back, Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. He rented the yacht. If it was lost, he wouldn't be able to compensate.
Started.
A few hours later, Zhang Hang slowly landed on a huge platform: "This is our coast guard headquarters." As he spoke, Zhang Hang shut down the helicopter, opened the door and jumped out.
Ma Xiaoyao and others also jumped out of the helicopter.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced around, and a hint of shock suddenly appeared on his face: "This... this is on a big ship..."
Zhang Hang nodded: "Yes, our coast guard headquarters is on this big ship. Come with me, I will take you to take a shower and change clothes." As he spoke, Zhang Hang turned towards the opposite cabin.
Go.
Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li and Jin Ming hurriedly followed.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Ma Xiaoyao saw many people wearing coast guard uniforms. These people were both male and female. They were all good-looking and energetic when walking. It was obvious that Zhang Hang was popular and many coast guards took the initiative.
Greeting Zhang Hang, Zhang Hang also responded politely. Regarding the uninvited guests such as Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li and Jin Ming, the coast guard did not show much surprise or surprise. It seemed that they were already used to it. These coast guards were at sea.
They have been working for several years and rescue many people trapped at sea every year, so they did not show much surprise to the three victims, Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li, and Jin Ming.
Zhang Hang led Ma Xiaoyao and others to turn left and right, and then walked into a large room: "This is the dressing room. Open the door inside and see the bathroom. The bathroom is divided into two departments for men and women. You can follow the instructions on the door.
Just click on the door number to enter." At this point, Zhang Hang walked to an iron cabinet, reached out and took out a few clothes: "There are several clothes here, they are all old, you can put them on first, and wait.
We're ashore, you go home and change your clothes." As he spoke, Zhang Hang distributed the clothes in his hands to Ma Xiaoyao and others, the larger ones were given to Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming, and the smaller ones were given to Gu Li.
Some shirts and blue trousers should be the clothes that the Coast Guard usually change.
"Officer Zhang, please excuse me." Ma Xiaoyao thanked him.
"You're welcome. After you take a shower, take a rest in this locker room. When my teammates get your yacht back, I will come over to inform you. Also, don't run around. There are
There are many places where idlers are not allowed to enter, so don't cause any trouble." After a few words of warning, Zhang Hang turned around and left.
Gu Li nodded: "This Zhang Hang is a kind-hearted person. Looking back, I will write a letter of praise and send it to the Coast Guard to praise this Zhang Hang." Gu Li is the mayor. If he really writes a letter of praise, the Coast Guard will
The leaders of the army will definitely take it very seriously, and maybe give Zhang Hang a good reward.
"Sister Gu, let's go take a bath and then meet here after taking a bath," Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Okay." Gu Li walked into the women's bathhouse holding her clothes.
Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming also entered the men's-only bathhouse. The bathhouse was quite large and could accommodate dozens of people taking a bath at the same time. The water was warm and felt very comfortable on the skin.
After half an hour of work, Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming finished taking a bath. They wiped their bodies, got dressed and walked out of the bathhouse. The dressing room outside was empty. Gu Li hadn't come out yet. The women were all bathing.
Slower than men, after all, many places are much more complicated to clean than men.
Ma Xiaoyao and Jin Ming were sitting on a wooden bench, chatting and waiting for Gu Li to come out.
"Jin Ming, thank you!" Ma Xiaoyao said thanks.
"It's so good, why do you want to thank me?" Jin Ming was stunned for a moment.
"If you hadn't told Sister Gu that I liked her, and said a lot of nice things to me...otherwise, it would have been impossible for Sister Gu to accept me so quickly." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"It turns out it's because of this incident." Jin Ming smiled: "Actually, I didn't say anything. I just told you in detail about the crimes you suffered these days when you went to sea. After listening to it, my sister-in-law was very moved...Sister-in-law
It is said that I woke her up and made her finally understand that she likes you and cares about you... As the saying goes, lovers eventually get married. Seeing that you and your sister-in-law are finally together, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart...
